HE was once anointed one of the world’s sexiest vegetarians, but it seems Chris Martin has consciously re-coupled with meat.

The star revealed his change in diet during an interview on BBC Radio 2.

“I am not really vegetarian. I eat meat. I was vegetarian for a long time but for various reasons I changed,” said Martin.

“My daughter [Apple, 10] has been a vegetarian since she was born. I keep getting tempted to go back but I don’t eat too much meat.”

Martin also explained why he initially turned to vegetarianism.

“The honest answer why I changed is because I thought you can only eat something that you should be able to kill.

“I don’t why I am talking about this. I have got to stop as there will be some sort of headline. I mean, ‘Could you kill a fish?’ I would not like it but I probably could eat the fish ... or a giraffe ... I have been called the world’s sexiest vegetarian. I don’t think I am the world’s sexiest singer. I think I came about 17th.”

Martin also spoke about how music has helped him through his recent split with Paltrow (a vegetarian).

“My job is so uplifting and that naturally is an endorphin.

“I am very lucky I have some good teachers and good people who have written some great things that make you able to alchemise.”

He went on to say that music had helped him through difficult times throughout his life, even considering it a “friend”.

“Music, especially over the last couple of years has been very alchemising. I mean if you are going through something difficult in life or whatever and music for me is always a friend and something that helps me figure things out,” he said.

“At the end of the day that is what I am always doing in the middle of the night. I need my time on my own with it and also like playing.”
